Thanks for digging into this so much, Martin! 1 - Yes, I will try the runcmd you mention and see if it works.
2 - However, I thought adding in After=cloud-config.target would ensure that it wouldn't start until after cloud-init completes? 3 - The recreate steps for this are: - Bootstrap local env on wily (this won't create a container) - Deploy using the command: `juju deploy wily/ubuntu`. It may take some time before you see the container started as juju will download the image before starting the template container. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509747 Title: Intermittent lxc failures on wily, juju-template-restart.service race condition Status in juju-core: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Frequently, when creating an lxc container on wily (either through --to lxc:#, or using the local provider on wily), the template never stops and errors out here: [ 2300.885573] cloud-init[2758]: Cloud-init v. 0.7.7 running 'modules:final' at Sun, 25 Oct 2015 00:28:57 +0000.
